archane Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have 2 xms3200 sticks I used paied in dual channel and my machine stopped booting if I had one of them in it. with just the other one it boots fine. I can't even get past a post to run a mem check. it's CMX512 - 3200C2PT ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archane Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 I forgot to mention that the machine will boot if I put the stick in any slot other than slot 0. but if it is in slot 0 I can't get past the post screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Will it not boot with just the other stick in slot 0 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archane Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 with my other stick it will boot just fine if it is in slot 0. but this one I pulled out, it will not boot with it in slot 0 at all. it will boot if it's in a different slot and the good one is in slot 0. but as soon as it tries to write to it I get a blue screen and it just dumps on me.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 22, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 22, 2005 To properly figure out if the problem is the memory or not, you should run memtest and inform me of the results. Put the memory in a known working slot ONE AT A TIME. Here are the directions you can use to run memtest: 1. Head over to http://www.memtest.org 2. Click on the link labeled "Download (Pre-built & ISOs)" 3. Next click on the link labeled "Download - Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS - Win)" 4. Download the software and Unzip the program files 5. Make sure a floppy disk is inserted 6. Run the program, when it asks which drive letter type in "a:" 7. Program should finish writing, reboot off floppy disk 8. Allow memtest to run 2-3 passes I hope these instructions help you! Please let me know what happens!
